It's a remote possibility, but Win98 suffered from a "jerky" mouse and miscellaneous delay problem when an HP LaserJet 1100 was attached. There was, eventually, a patch from HP to fix it. Let me know if you need a pointer.
Win98 will not be supported much longer. Am happy with Win XP -- much more robust. John, K2CIB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter E.
